Report Summary

  • The program provides a public benefit and should continue.
  • Due to program failure to collect data for measures relating to national accreditation and year-to-year changes in data resulting from the planned phase-in of the performance funding system, the Workforce Development Education Program's legislative performance measures are currently of limited use in evaluating the program's performance.
  • Participants in associate in science degree programs tend to have low completion rates. Nonetheless, career and technical education programs in general improve the earnings of those who complete them.
